Samantha Ramsdell, aged 31, from Connecticut in US, has set a Guinness World Record for having the largest mouth gape in the female category.

With a larger-than-life mouth that stretches at a massive 6.52 cm, she has been confirmed for having the world’s largest mouth gape (female) after going viral on TikTok for her sizeable jaw. The 31-year-old claims that she can nearly fit an entire green apple in her mouth and can fully bite through four-single stacked cheeseburgers.

Samantha says that she was often bullied by other kids while growing up for the size of her mouth. Eventually, she not only accepted but also loved this feature of her individuality.

Recently, Samantha got her gape measured at her local dentist’s clinic in presence of an official adjudicator for the Guinness World Records title.

Samantha told Guinness, “Being 31 and being able to get a record for something that really I was so insecure about, something that I wanted to keep so small, it’s great because now it’s like one of the biggest, best things about me. She added, “I never thought it would be possible to be this famous off my mouth, but it’s incredible. It’s really, really cool.”

In light of the special achievement, she encouraged anyone who had a “large body part or something unique and wanted to go for the Guinness World Records title” should pursue their dreams. The social media sensation asserted, Do it proud and make it your biggest asset. It’s your superpower, it is the thing that makes you special and different from everyone else walking around.”
